Kiss The Bride

The band I'm currently a member of, Deuces Wild, was hired to play at the reception of a couple who got married in nearby Carmi, Illinois. And of course, since it fell in the two-week period of when I had the One Rokkor Around The World project lens, I thought - why not memorialize it for the project? So, after finishing my duties of playing the accompaning music cd for the woman who sang a song at the beginning of the wedding ceremony, I was free to do whatever I chose. Of course I had two cameras with me and one was my trusty Minolta XD11 with the project lens attached. As soon as the minister pronounced the two married, he had them turn to each other and, for the benefit of the crowd, uttered those immortal words, "You may now kiss the bride...."

Snap.... got it!
